The Team

Tyler Hunnex - I started/founded/began Let's Go Birds in September of 2007 after feeling like my favorite Junior Hockey team needed more discussion and analysis. I'm statistically minded, forever frustrated by the Tbirds and my all-time favorite player was #10. I think I'm funny and my writing would probably disagree. Follow me on Twitter @TylerHunnex.

Jon Whiting - Jon joined the Let's Go Birds team in the summer of 2013. His passion for the Thunderbirds is as big as any fan I've ever met. His two kids are named after former Tbirds and his favorite all-time players were Patrick Marleau and Olaf "Ole" Kjenstad, who he swears is the best pure scoring Tbird ever.

Future considerations? This current organization will screw it up. Two or three years from now we will have decent team? Funny. This oranization is not about putting a quality major junior team on ice but to make money...nothing wrong with that except for the fans. Pickard starting all games last year except a few? Oh my...I won't start with the other players that have no chance in moving up and will take the scholarship. We thought last year the coach was to be blamed, rightfully, but it goes all the way to the top. One year after the change I can excuse...however, they have not made any moves to make it known that next year will be better. It's time that the owners stop being part of the team, besides being owners, and let experts run the team. It may be a hobby to them but for the fans, paying $24.00 per ticket, it is no hobby...we want winners. This team doesn't qualify as winners...no hustle, no defense, no offense, nothing. It's early, light a fire under these kids butts, but it looks like we will be stuck with limited wins at home again and no playoff appearance. Again...it's early...a fire must be lit...motivate, motivate, motivate. We, the fans need to see some wins, if not that, close games.
